The results of regression analyses between plasma levels of NT-proBNP and all other proteins in the SOMAScan®, adjusted for sex, race, eGFR and additional covariates found to be significantly different across NT-proBNP tertiles (age, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, BMI, insulin use, ACEi/ARBs use) are shown in Figure 2B. This evidence concerns the gene INS and hypertensive disorder.
